I prefer smaller over larger, but this house I actually like. Why? It goes for broke. I say, if you're going to big, go all the way! At eight bedrooms it's spacious enough to be useful for a family reunion, a small corporate retreat, a wedding party, and many other similar gatherings. All without being right on top of each other (which is what makes it eminently do-able). The location is lovely, and of course you have such nice neighbors.
What I don't understand--and really dislike--are the big houses that are too big for one family alone, yet not big enough for two, especially when there are lots of kids. 4,000 sq. ft. and only three bedrooms? Now that's wasteful and ostentatious.
Amen to that! Of course the other end of the spectrum is a big montrosity such as the "dream home" in WaterSound that has no large spaces to entertain in. Nothing like a 6,000 sq. ft. home without a single room over 500 sq. ft.
So the theory is that they might be able to sell the house cover construction and pay for a new house? Or is it just a let's see what kind of idiots are out there? Either way it doesn't seem like the right kind of attitude for someone building there residence.
